You can either be Head of Household or a dependent, not both. If you are eligible to be claimed as a dependent, you will not get the stimulus, regardless if anybody claims you.

Taxpayers likely won't qualify for an Economic Impact Payment if any of the following apply:

Your adjusted gross income is greater than
- $99,000 if your filing status was single or married filing separately
- $136,500 for head of household
- $198,000 if your filing status was married filing jointly
You can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. For example, this would include a child, student or older dependent who can be claimed on a parent’s return.
You do not have a valid Social Security number.
You are a nonresident alien.
You filed Form 1040-NR or Form 1040NR-EZ, Form 1040-PR or Form 1040-SS for 2019.

You must have been pretty confused---you could not possibly be head of household if you are also a dependent on someone else's tax return. If you said you can be claimed as someone else's dependent you will not receive a stimulus check. You will need to prepare and file an amended return to fix that, and you will more likely get your stimulus money as a credit on your 2020 return next year.

Look at the top half of page 1 of your Form 1040 to see what you checked off for filing status and whether you could be claimed as a dependent.
